    Most of my experience has been with the physical therapy guy, Gray O'Brian, who is very good. My visit with Dr. Baravarian was very brief and I'm still waiting for the promised orthopedics to come in before I see hi again.

    The front office is very friendly and helpful. Dr Briskin takes his time, makes sure to ask all pertinent questions and is thorough in his assessment. I've been coming for years and highly recommend.

    I've been seeing Dr Briskin for a few months in the treatment of plantar fasciitus. I've nearly recovered and I greatly appreciate the time and care he took to explain things to me and put me a great treatment recovery plan. I highly recommend him.

    I've been seeing Dr. Baravarian as needed for various foot problems for over 20 years now.  It's very reassuring to know that for any issue which arises with my feet, I know exactly who to see.   He has given me great advice and treatment over the years.  He's a great podiatrist and I am happy to know him as "my" podiatrist.  He listens and explains things thoroughly and in an easy to understand manner.  He spots walking imbalances and their cause on sight and relates them to their affect on the rest of the body.  He is very knowledgeable and has a very pleasant manner.  I highly recommend this doctor.

    I'm frustrated as the orthotics that were made for me were made very poorly and had to be sent back after only wearing for a couple of days. I was told it would be a rush and take couple of weeks. It's looking at more like a month, as I they haven't been completed.

    Dr. Briskin was great! He gave me a lot of personal attention and was able to get me a stem-sell injection in my ankle. I could not be more pleased!

    It’s a very busy office and sometimes feel like I’d like to have more time with the doctor. But I’m old fashioned in that way. Everyone has been very kind and has answered my questions.

    Had a brief meeting/exam with Dr. B. on Oct 6, but surgery will not be done until Dec 9.

    Ask my opinion after that.

    The custom made shoe inserts are very helpful. My one complaint is that the office told me I could come by and a technician would fit them (I was busy in court as a judge), but when I got there, I was told doctor had to fit. Doctor. Bob not there. I just took the inserts.
